> Hello everybody ... in case you haven't peeked at the calendar lately, it's high time to start plotting your strategy for getting to Black Rock City, and getting all the supplies you need along the way. And we're here to help. We've compiled an impressive (if we do say so ourselves) collection of resources in the neighboring towns you'll pass through on the way to BRC, whichever direction you're coming from -- even from the air.
> 
> Whether you want to load up on water, find a tent, grab another costume, get that last shower ... or just take a moment to kiss civilization goodbye, we've got you handled ...
> 
> Yep, coming from the West or Southwest (or flying in from across the country or around the globe), we've got Reno covered. From the Northwest, Cedarville. From the East, we got Lovelock and Fernley. From the Southeast, there's Fallon. Then for most travelers, Wadsworth and Nixon, our good neighbors from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. And finally, when you get up close to the playa, our favorite small desert towns: Gerlach and Empire.
> 
> Now, this part is important: these communities are our neighbors. We've formed some great relationships with them over the years, and frankly, our community in the desert couldn't continue without them. Please pay all these towns the utmost respect on your way through. Show them some love, and be sure to remember that your actions represent Burners everywhere. When patronizing a local business, rest area, or parking lot, please be respectful and courteous. Just like on the playa, you absolutely must LEAVE NO TRACE. And keep your damn pants on, just this once.

> The Reno area is the nearest major metropolitan area to Black Rock City, 2.5 hours away. If you plan to get any or all of the supplies you need in Reno, or to stay overnight there, we have a big section on our website PACKED with information on all of the important local resources -- supermarkets, water, hardware, curiosity shops, recycling, trash and greywater disposal, hotels, restaurants, bars, transportation and shipping, you name it. And all mapped out for your navigational planning. These pages are painstakingly updated each year by a team of local Burners who know whereof they speak. Check it out:

> RENO-TAHOE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
> 
> Burning Man is the busiest time of year for the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, with over 15,000 Burners coming through on their way to and from the playa. In fact, Burning Man brings an estimated $10 million in revenue to the airport and the Airport President recently said "Burners literally put the 'International' in Reno-Tahoe International Airport's name." Cool, huh? Well we've got information and resources that will help make your travel through the airport as smooth as possible here:

> Through the coordinated efforts of the Burning Man Project and Reno-Tahoe International Airport, Air Playa Info returns for its sixth year to provide information and resources for travelers on their way to Burning Man.
> 
> Located next to Baggage Claim inside the airport, the knowledgeable volunteers at the Air Playa Info table will help answer your questions, provide directions and maps, and share information about Reno-area resources, including transportation options to Black Rock City.

> BURNER EXPRESS - BUSING FROM THE RENO AIRPORT TO BLACK ROCK CITY
> 
> In an effort to reduce traffic and limit the environmental impact of our event, Burning Man organizers are offering the Burner Express bus service with pickups in San Francisco and the Reno airport to Black Rock City and back. This service offers early arrival, speedier entrance, ticket pick up, reserved camping and quicker departures.
> 
> Burner Express is ideal for participants flying into the event and for Burners involved in art projects and theme camps having their gear hauled in by campmates. Tickets start at $60 one way from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and $95 one way from the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Additional charges apply for extra luggage or for a stop at a grocery store in Reno. Departures begin from both locations Saturday, August 24 and return trips begin Friday, August 30.
> 
> Large motor coach buses will take Burners to Gerlach, where they will hop on smaller buses for the ride into Black Rock City. There will be a "bus only" lane to sidestep traffic backups at Gate and Greeters, and bus passengers will have their own Will Call station for speedier ticket pick up.
> 
> Once inside BRC, bus riders have the option of camping in a reserved camping section on the 6 o'clock access road or taking shuttles out to 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock along G Street.

> ADVANTAGE FLIGHT - THEY'LL FLY YA TO THE PLAYA!
> 
> Flying into and out of Burning Man has always been one way to save the drive, avoid the lines at the Gate and during Exodus, and keep cars off the road. Advantage Flight, a Burner-owned and operated charter air service with over 700 playa flights logged since 2005, teams up this year with several other charter operators with a goal of reducing at least 1000 cars from this year's Burn. 
> 
> Advantage now offers several daily non-stop flights between the BRC Airport and Reno, and then to and from the Bay and Northern and Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, and Utah. In addition to passengers, Advantage can fly in materials for build crews, such as baggage, fresh food, and other supplies. Check out the details at: www.advantageflight.com/bman .

> RIDESHARING FROM RENO TO BLACK ROCK CITY
> 
> If you are unable to arrange for means of transportation from Reno to BRC beforehand, you also have two well-used Rideshare possibilities to BRC: 
> 
> First option is from the airport, where you may be able to negotiate a ride from fellow Burners renting a car. Check in at Air Playa Info to see if anyone has a seat. Chances are you may also be able to get some of your supplies on the ride too, as most everyone flying in has to get supplies -- be sure and ask. 
> 
> Your second rideshare option is to go to the busiest pit-stop where Burners driving to BRC go to shop. This rideshare location is 10 minutes from the airport, and open 24 hours. 
> 
> Save Mart Supermarket
> 525 Keystone Ave - 775-786-2150
> 
> Check in at Air Playa Info to see if there may be other Burners who may be willing to give you a ride there (if not to the playa), or to see if anyone may be willing to carpool a taxi with you.
> 
> **Some important things to keep in mind about ridesharing with fellow Burners** 
> 
> Riders: 
> - Offering to chip in for gas is helpful if you can.
> - Everyone in the vehicle must be wearing a seatbelt -- it's the law.
> - Be sure to LEAVE NO TRACE at the rideshare locations.
> 
> Drivers: 
> - Make sure EVERYBODY in the vehicle has their Burning Man ticket, or has one at Will Call. If riders aren't holding a ticket or a will call receipt, we ask you to not bring them to BRC. 
> 
> Riders and Drivers:
> - BE COMFORTABLE with whom you choose to share a ride.

> 
> The Generator is a new, experimental, and radically-inclusive art and builders space in the Reno-Sparks area, dedicated to playa-bound and year-round projects. Art installations being built there for Black Rock City include the Control Tower, Icthyosaur Puppet Project, Dawn Patrol, Like 4 Real and several Regional CORE Effigy projects from around the world. If you have a little extra time travelling through, you may want to check it out. 
> 
> If you are (responsible and) looking for a free interactive space in which to build, and a passionate community to be part of, definitely check them out. They're having a few events, in fact! On July 20 they're having a Grand Open House party, and on August 10 a Quinceanera Pre-Playa Freak Out party. To contact them and for further info, check out their website:

> Travelers arriving at Reno-Tahoe International Airport this summer will be treated to a showcase of “material culture” from the Burning Man event and - for those who think it’s just an event in the desert - examples of how Burning Man’s 10 Principles have permeated culture worldwide.
> 
> The display: “Burning Man: Thriving in the Desert, Flourishing in the World” will be on display from early August through mid-October in the airport’s recently renovated gallery space between the arrival / departure gates and the security gates. 
> 
> The exhibit includes two display cases of Burning Man “material culture” including examples of beautiful patches and jewelry designed by participants. A standing case will display San Francisco artist $teven Ra$pa’s “Dust Devil” costume. Also included is imagery of art installations brought to the Black Rock Desert from around the world, including New York artist Kate Raudenbush’s art piece “Star Seed.”

In fact, all Burners and their art are warmly welcome to participate in the Modoc County Fair in Cedarville August 22-25, as well as in the Town Parade on August 25. An invaluable opportunity to get to know our neighbors, and show off your Burner selves, art and mutant vehicles at this family-friendly event.

> BLACK ROCK CITY'S CLOSE NEIGHBORS: WADSWORTH, NIXON, AND PYRAMID LAKE
> 
> Most travelers pass through the towns of Wadsworth and Nixon on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation on their way to Burning Man. The Tribe is very supportive of Burning Man and hospitable to travelers. You will find the I-80 Smokeshop in Wadsworth and The Nixon Store in Nixon with gas, food, alcohol, ice, cheap smokes, ATM, pay-phone and lots of other supplies, as well as lake camping and day-use permits. There are also lake tours, RV Parks and campgrounds, a restaurant and saloon, auto/tow service and car-wash in Wadsworth. Some of the businesses/services will be open 24 hours during peak travel times. Check out all the information here:
> 
> Wadsworth - http://bit.ly/qYFca6
> Nixon and Pyramid Lake - http://bit.ly/qnn6Um
> 
> PYRAMID LAKE
> 
> Pyramid Lake is a beautiful ancient lake at the heart of the Paiute Tribe Reservation, with plenty of day-use and camping opportunities for before and/or after the hot dusty playa.
> 
> NOTE: All day-use and camping requires permits! Proceeds from permits help support the Tribal Government, and water quality and environmental programs that protect the unique ecosystem of Pyramid Lake year round. The Tribe advises all travelers that the north and east side of the lake, Anajo Island, The Pyramid, and The Needles, are off-limits to everyone but Tribe members. The Tribe also advises that souvenir and artifact hunting are not permitted. To purchase camping, day-use, and other permits online, or for a list of permit locations and additional information about Pyramid Lake, please visit www.pyramidlake.us. 
> 
> PYRAMID LAKE ART SHOW
> 
> The Paiute Tribe invites all Burning Man participants to stop and experience the unique art and culture on display at the Pyramid Lake Arts and Crafts Show, Saturday and Sunday, August 24-25, at the Pyramid Lake Museum and Visitors Center (709 State Street in Nixon, across from The Nixon Store). Native American artists will be displaying and selling their artwork & crafts. The traveler will also find an invaluable experience in checking out the Museum itself with breathtaking architecture and a remarkable display of the history and culture of the Tribe, lake, and land. If you are camping on Pyramid Lake or otherwise have the time, don't miss out on this special arts show at the Museum that will leave you with an appreciation for the unique arts and culture of Pyramid Lake.
> 
> CAR WASH
> 
> The Sacred Visions Powwow Committee will be sponsoring a carwash during Exodus for travelers next to the Natchez Elementary School, just as you enter Wadsworth on State Route 447. The wash will be available for vehicles of all sizes during daylight hours from August 31 - September 3. All funds raised will go to support the 6th Annual Sacred Visions Powwow.
> 
> TRAVEL ADVISORY
> 
> The Tribe advises all travelers to slow down and keep your distance while traveling through the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation. Obey the posted speed limits and keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. All State Routes on the reservation are two lane roads and the Tribe would like motorists to be aware of the dangers associated with high speeds on two lane highways. The entire Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation is an open range area for livestock. Motorists must be cautious of livestock that may be on the highways. Finally, while passing though the Tribal communities of Wadsworth and Nixon, the Tribe requests that motorists be cautious of children and courteous to Tribal Members that may attempt to cross the road, or that are accessing their homes, businesses or Tribal Services.

> "Gerlach General Improvement District - 330 Short Drive – 775-557-2601
> Available from Aug 19-22, 9am-5pm; Aug 23-26, 8am-midnight; Aug 27-28, 9am-5pm. The Gerlach GID (the local governing body of Gerlach, just a few miles from BRC) will be selling potable water to fill up RVs and water tanks of any size, with the funds going to support the town of Gerlach. Look out for directional signs just as you enter town on Main Street, the station is located in front of the town’s Community Center. Rates are 50 cents per gallon up to 100 gallons, 45 cents per gallon between 100 and 200 gallons, and 40 cents per gallon for above 200 gallons. 6 and 7-gallon water containers also available (free water with purchase of container).  Cash only, but ATM is onsite.
> 
> This decision to provide water to Burners has been made in an attempt to keep our water rates reasonable for the citizens of Gerlach. We have a top notch water treatment plant here, but due to the small size of our town, our 150 residents must pay for the maintenance of an entire water system. We want to provide a town resource to the participants of Burning Man, and we think this will save you money in addition to helping our town. Water weighs 8 lbs per gallon, and by buying your water in Gerlach, you will avoid paying fuel costs to transport your water from afar."

If you're going to need to stock up on TONS of stuff for your Burn, you'll want to shop in Reno. But the Empire Store is a great resource for the essentials, especially the "D'oh! I forgot toothpaste," or "We can't do the project without that spatula!" kind of thing, or to pick up a last 6-pack of beer. Plus, they have ice cream, which will look like EDIBLE SOLID GOLD about the time you're rolling through Empire, believe us.
